re: If you only got to keep one constant in-conference rivalry, what would it be?

South Carolina

I honestly have no idea. Our historical rival was Ole Miss, but that team has to play state.

Our permanent cross division has been Florida and that’s an incredible rival, but they have to play UGA. If for what ever reason UGA chooses Auburn, I want Florida.

If it has to be a west team it’s going to be either Arkansas or aTm.

Now if for some reason UGA picks Florida and Alabama picks UT for an easy win, I want Auburn.

Easy answer for me. Florida in the big 3. My favorite game every year.

2) Lately the LSU rivalry has been heating up due to their obvious jealously of the trajectory of our program vs theirs. I would like the keep that hatred flowing. It will make it that much sweeter to kick their arse knowing they have a Yankee carpetbagger as a coach. Beating down Cajuns and Yankees, 2 birds one stone.

Well….although we do not share the same thoughts on the reasoning for said rivalry….

Traditionally I would say Ole miss - just always loved the hate there - geaux to hell ole miss! But obviously they have MSU

The lsu/A&M rivalry is such a better fit than when the sec tried to force the whole battle of the boot shite on us. We get it- We have no instate rival- neither does ark, and we were just kind of matched together bc we were leftover from the others.

There is strong pre SEC history between lsu and aggie. Lot of path crossing lot of which that can be attributed to the oilfield, Houston, shared boarder etc.

Agreed. Funny how some approach Bama as a huge rival- historically yes a big game- Bryant included LSU in his marks of a good season on teams they had to beat - believe it was Tenn, AU and LSU. And of course when Saban went there, matching up against our simple jack grass eater - and hands down key to the sec west, sec and hell nationally goes through bama - I hate losing to Bama, and hating the bama success -

But damn I do love to hate Ole miss. All of it! No offense to ole miss of course.

I have a strong dislike for aggies- don’t want to go full hate yet, I mean- go full aggie hate - next thing you know in this day of forced acceptance- you run the risk of getting cancelled for hating on one of the groups lumped into the + category that seems to be never ending. I’d hate for my hate to be misunderstood.

Georgia

I was thinking Alabama fans were more apt to say Auburn than Tennessee.

I think keeping Egg Bowl and Iron Bowl would be in the best interest of the SEC.

Beer Barrel needs to come back. We hate you guys. You hate us. It's a healthy rivalry.

Don't we beat y'all like every year except for that one game. Like y'all beat us once in y'all time in the SEC. But it's okay if you don't want to admit that we own y'all.

Priority order...

Alabama-Auburn (Tenn is close but how can you break up the Iron Bowl?)
Texas-Oklahoma
UGA-Florida
Ole Miss-Miss. St.
LSU-A&M
Tennessee-Kentucky
Arkansas-Missouri
Vanderbilt-South Carolina

It is much harder to pick this after the top 3 or 4 matchups.
